WEP-M 2 |
Introduction
WEP-M+2 (wanless2) is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in number theory. The project is currently investigating factorization of Mersenneplustwo numbers. Mersenneplustwo numbers are those integers that are two more than a Mersenne prime. Mersenne primes are of the form 2^p-1. This makes Mersenneplustwo numbers of the form 2^p+1. This project aims to find the factors (ie integer divisors) of Mersenneplustwo numbers.

Science
[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"
The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important. ]
Results
[Where known, we should attempt to keep track of each project's publications. A good list to draw from is here. ]
Links of Interest
[Why recreate the wheel; there are lots of great sources out there.; a good list of sources can be really useful to the reader.]
WEP-M+2 In the Classroom
[For each project, please add a "[Projectname] in the Classroom" section-- with a link to Volunteer Computing In the Classroom and an article named "[Projectname] in the Classroom". (Then please add "[Projectname] in the Classroom" to the list on the main Education page.)]
